Jones Beach

Sagamore Hill


Sagamore Hill located in Oyster Bay is Theodore Roosevelt's summer home.  He and his family spent summers in this house in the 1870's.  He loved this house because he loved the outdoors and there were many things he could do here like riding, swimming, hiking, etc.  This is a nice place to visit and there is a lot to do here.  You can take a tour of the house and go inside or you can walk around the outside there are trails to walk through and beautiful sites to see here.  There is also lots to see in the town of Oyster Bay it is very historic and a beautiful place.
